Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (3784 mails)

[Dragos <suse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

it's funny that I have to explain this over and over...
about what you sugest it may be the problem, it isn't.
I have it like this:
1)I have a primary account lets say dragos@xxxxxxxxxx (yeah, I'm in 
Romania) which works
2) made new account suse@xxxxxxxxxx in kmail (also made it on the 
server, which I graciously run)
3)set up folder and stuff to receive mail separately for the mailing 
list, etc...
4) sent a mail to the list (selected the corresponding id from kmail for 
suse list); it came back saying I'm not subscribed: the "from" and 
"reply to" were ok, but kmail made "return path" my primary address 
(dragos@xxxxxxxxx) and I was refused (rightfully) by the mailing list server

Now I'm sure that if I use kmail only for my mailing list addres it 
would work, but I don't.
